Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - September 15, 2006 - Webhosting company, and subsidiary of United Internet, 1 and 1 Internet, is offering the top level domain (TLD) Dot.mobi. The new class of domains ending with .mobi is backed by 13 leading mobile and Internet organizations and addresses the need for seamless access to Internet-enabled mobile phones, for delivering customized information to mobile devices.

Every person or organization is free to apply for a preferred .mobi domain. Customers of 1 and 1 can pre-register for free via the 1 and 1 Control Panel. During this pre-registration period everybody can request as many domain-names as desired. These subscriptions will be held until the general registration on October 11th and will be registered on a first-come, first-served basis. 1 and 1 .mobi domains are registered for two year periods at $19.99 per year.

Andreas Gauger, Chairman of 1 and 1 Internet remarked, ”The .mobi domain serves perfectly the need for an increasingly mobile society. Websites with .mobi will be able to offer an intuitive direct access for millions of mobile devices and address new target-groups. As there is no charge applying for the pre-registration with 1 and 1, this means that there is really no reason not to apply for their preferred omain-name.”

According to dotMobi, the ICANN appointed global registry, .mobi is the first – and only – top level domain dedicated to users who access the Internet through their mobile phones. In addition, mobile phones are purchased four times as often as a personal computer, meaning there’s a sizable population whose main access to the Internet is via mobile phone. All websites have to be compliant with .mobi’s specific design restrictions to ensure that all pages on the TLD can be viewed with a mobile phone.

1 and 1 Internet’s global community includes 5.87 million users. 1 and 1 features an array of services, from instant domain packages to all-inclusive shared hosting plans, dedicated servers and ready-to-run eShops. Combining over 37,000 fully-tuned servers with the performance of Juniper and Cisco routers, 1 and 1 endeavors to utilize the most superior products from the leading technology manufacturers and service providers. 1 and 1 is a Microsoft Joint Development Partner, and works with other paramount companies such as Google, Plesk, Symantec, and HP/Compaq.
